8/13

6 looks the class act in here but will improve for whatever he does today; 2 preference

Parade ring updates

1 Al Nayyir - older chap now and can present a little heavy; okay but doesn’t stand out

2 Amiloc - has got warm but seems settled in the pre-parade, not the biggest but athletic

3 Deira Mile - slight stringhalt behind (high action), has got warm, fit

4 Epic Poet - a bit fussy which can be his way, fit and well

5 Furthur - always been an eye catching individual, slender and leggy, has darkened in the coat, okay for reappearance

6 Rahiebb - has so much quality, big imposing colt with plenty of chest. Has been a bit strong and will tighten up over ribs but oozes class.

7 Tarriance - very level headed, lovely way about him, not as razor sharp as some of the Balding horses have presented this week

16/5

Parade ring updates

1 Angels Passing - rangy and unfurnished, little behind in the coat, good attitude but will improve for the run

2 Armor Supreme - has size and scope, leggy and athletic, strong filly

3 Lady Blanche - stocky build, plain head, good demeanour, real sprinting type but expect others to look classier. Worth marking up switched to paddock, another ‘today’ filly with good attitude

4 Lake Muritz - keeps making appeal, has size and whilst she’ll still keep developing physically, still presents strong and well

5 Laralynn - two handlers and needs them, very keen and unsure, concern

6 Love A Giggle - racy, agile little filly, very much for the day, good demeanour

7 Lover Girl - compact and well balanced, very much a ‘now’ juvenile filly, very relaxed

8 Margaret’s Pearl - stockily built filly, good temperament, doesn’t stand out on fitness

9 Niewiadoma - fussy and a little strong at times, having a mess around. Okay fitness but needs to settle

10 Princesse d’Orange - still quite babyish in her demeanour, no fitness questions but second handler added to settle her, bit green

9/1

Parade ring updates

1 Thunder Run - very fit, hard to fault, plenty of rib and definition

2 Warrant Holder - impressive physical, looks like a Group performer, very fit for reappearance

3 Regal Ulixes - narrow and slender gelding, fit and fine

4 Tony Montana - good looking horse, always takes the eye in the paddock, has definition but will be spot on next time

5 Have Secret - a little busy and keen to get on with things but looks spot on, very fit

6 The Glen Rovers - heavy setups, tend to present like that from the yard but others appeal more

7 Castle Stuart - sturdily built sort but should improve for the run

8 Chillingham - notably fit after a long break, likeable

9 Ashnak - narrow gelding, presents fit

10 Per Contra - will improve for the outing, some definition

11 NR

12 Zryan - little plain in the coat, no major issues

13 Cadarn - big powerful sort, likeable physical, okay definition

14 NR

15 Double Parked - solid and muscular, fine

16 Altareq - very edgy and will improve over the ribs for the run

3/1

6 and 5 best pair here; preference for the 5 as looks spot on for reappearance. Good standard of field, all fit and well.

Parade ring updates

1 Act Of Kindness - moves well, good sized filly, fussing a little with head, fit

2 Botagoz - leggy tall filly, narrow frame, straightforward demeanour, fit

3 Fashion People - most appealing physical of the Gosden pair, well balanced and powerful, sprinting/mile profile rather than a middle distance filly in the making. Becoming keen now switched to paddock.

4 Lilt - deep girthed, strong filly, a little tense through head and neck but no concerns. Fit.

5 Pacific Mission - definitely ready on reappearance; lean and ribby, catches the eye with good demenaour

6 So Regal - slender framed filly, easy going, fit and well, leggy rather than stockily built

7 Synchronicity - wowed when winning at Newbury; was clear best and looks less so here. Neat, smaller type, very fit. No obvious negatives but doesn’t jump out in obvious fashion.

Parade ring updates

1 Obelix - strong in pre-parade, needs the run

2 North View - moves well, fair level of fitness

3 Leadman - tends to appeal physically and has improved fitness from Newmarket

4 Moon Beginnings - has definition behind but still should improve over ribs

5 Spirit Genie - on toes and keen; will come forward for the run

6 Harry The Rogue - a bit whizzy and keen but undoubtedly fit, hard definition

7 Dingle - powerful; good level of fitness

8 Ormolulu - makes appeal, hard fit

9 Nyman - backs up quickly and race fitness shows; has got very warm, concern

10 Stratocracy - tense and fussing, will improve for the run

11 Aisling Oscar - big strong type, fit and well

12 Quest For Fun - plain through the coat but wouldn’t be a concern; very fit and muscular

13 Mereside Diva - likeable mare, good level of definition and getting on with the job

14 Zarathos - moving forward and alert, very defined behind, one of the better models

15 Captain Parma - very defined, likeable

16 Highland Olly - hard to like as a physical; heavy set and therefore doesn’t appeal on fitness

17 Havana Prince - keen to get on with the job, likeable physical

18 Style Of Life - holding tension through head and neck, okay fitness on reappearance

19 Gressington - big strong gelding, two handlers but level headed and calm; fit

21 Orne - high level of fitness, lean type

22 War Howl - big gelding, dwarfs many of these, doesn’t appeal on fitness
